45 Seconds or Less
​ to Prevent Social Anxiety?

It's time.  With dread, you search the cabinets, pantry, and fridge, but... it's time.  

You need to get groceries.  Just anticipating the anxiety of being close to people is giving you anxiety.  

Should you take another pill to get through it?  You're not sure, because when you do, you don't make good choices; you don't feel very alive.  

But, there's that anxiety filling you.

​Little do you know that about 45 seconds of your time could prevent that anxiety.  Yes, 45 seconds, and even faster with practice.  Two steps that rid you of this kind of anxiety. 
 
Little do you know that you can dive even deeper to rid yourself of the energetic causes of that anxiety. 


Want a Drug-Free Anchor that Keeps You Still
​Within That Sea of Emotions?

Wouldn’t you love to have an anchor that, no matter how rough the storm, keeps your boat stable and secured?  Because of this anchor, wherever you are, it's always in the eye of the hurricane.
           
In the SWS system, you learn how to build such an anchor.  You learn what materials to strip away as well as what is needed to forge its indestructibility.  


Can you imagine being on the train, in a crowd, or at a concert without experiencing random thoughts you do not understand?  Can you imagine only feeling moods that you do understand?  Can you imagine yourself able to Stand With Strength wherever you are?  ​

This Can Be YOU, Leaving Darkness and Confusion Behind.

Picture
Moods and scattered thinking do not have to be in charge of your life.  When you have clarity about the beliefs and life patterns that create unnecessary difficulties for you, you can begin your journey to an unshakeable calm that is maintained through simple practices.
​
When you have a deep understanding of how your presence, thoughts, words, and actions help to create an environment that is not chaotic and hurtful, you form the beginning of your calm inner world.  ​

And then, You can Stand With Strength!

 
​
We at A Place of Light know you can do this because we have been guiding people to this mindset since 2003.  We have seen hundreds achieve a level of calm they never thought possible.  We have seen them take hold of their lives to embrace the challenges the outer world gives all of us with success and confidence, starting their own businesses, pursuing academic careers they thought were only a dream, as well as reigniting relationships they thought were dead.  

Group Program starts March 20, 2023!  Forge your anchor and stop feeling adrift!

What Students Say about Stand With Strength


The way I am in my daily life has subtly but powerfully shifted since taking this course, and I am so grateful.
​I feel like it woke me up more to the real me.  Haley

The course helped in reinforcing behaviors and mindsets that improve me as an individual.   Shannon


Really, really helped me become less critical of myself and others.  I love it that I have forever access to the material.  Cheryl

I experienced a whole new level of personal spiritual growth and enlightenment while taking this course. I love that I was able to speak freely and feel safe talking about any topic.  I am in a much better place in my own self than when I began this course.  It’s simply been an awesome experience for me.  Mary


HOWEVER
  • If you are looking for a quick fix, Stand With Strength will not work for you.
  • If you are looking for someone to solve your life problems, Stand With Strength will not work for you. 
  • If you are looking for rituals and affirmations to do the work for you, Stand With Strength will not work for you.  
While it requires effort on your part, you will have a guide right there for you, every step of the way.  Support is critical in this process and your experienced, caring, and skilled co-pilot will be sitting right next to you.    
More Reactions to the Course

The experience was wonderful! I gained from every experience of your course.  Shannon
​

To say it briefly, we are not a victim, we are not a prisoner of the life that we have created, we can change things, and nobody can do that for us except ourselves.  And, of course, it really, really helps having support and guidance in our efforts.  Rob


WHAT YOU WILL BE PRACTICING

THREE TRAININGS IN MODULE ONE:  KNOWING WHO I AM
MODULE ONE - Knowing Who I Am:  As you explore Knowing Who I Am, you take a look at the mirrors that reflect both your outer and inner worlds.  In so doing, you gain a deep insight into what may well be causing some of these unexplained moods and how to attain your inner stillness.  This will help you be more conscious of how you are mirroring the outside world.  
Picture
​Cleaning the Mirror:   ​The Buddhists say that attachments are the cause of all suffering.  Explore your own attachments and practice a proven method to release the ones you do not want.  This practice allows you to have a clear mirror when living your life rather than following a false narrative down the rabbit hole.

Picture
  
​Looking in the Mirror:   Gain keen insight into your self-awareness by using three important keys to unlock this knowledge.   In so doing, you will find that unhelpful approaches to life fade away and the mirror reflects you exactly as you are.

Picture
What Shapes the Mirror:  You may be surprised to discover when you first formed your belief system!  This exercise allows you to choose your beliefs consciously and align your thoughts, words and actions with them so you can stop having internal conflicts.   A mirror that is not distorted is a sure way to inner calm!

This is just what I have been looking for... take me to the registration page!  
THREE TRAININGS IN MODULE TWO:  ​WHAT TO PRACTICE
 MODULE TWO - What to Practice:  Now that you have more insight into how the way you dance with life can affect your unexplained moods, you will take a look at three practices that will help you maintain your unshakeable inner calm.  With that calm, your life is your own, no matter what is happening around you.   You choose the dance steps or choose to be still.   
Picture

Dancing with the Universe:  Through considering the principles of interdependence, you can attain a clear perception of just how much our lives are dancing with all other beings.  Discover how life becomes less stressful when we know the right dance steps to the music being played in every situation. 

Picture

Be the Tranquil Lake:  Sometimes our dance is one of stillness.  Patience opens so many doors for you!  With the opportunity to practice a mindset that allows patience to flow freely through you, you can remain calm even during your most trying times. 

Picture
Dancing with Your Being:   Consciously creating your personal dance and understanding its rhythm is another powerful key to maintaining balance in your life.  Learn and experience just how powerful your dance is and how it affects the energy of everything around you so that you can dance in harmony wherever you go.   Your dance is unique and can move everything.  

Less stress, more patience, understanding the impact of my very being!  I want this!​
THREE TRAININGS IN MODULE THREE:  THE SUPREME ENERGY
MODULE THREE - The Supreme Energy:  You have worked with six concepts that have a great impact on your moods and remaining balanced.  Now is the time to put it all together and practice the supreme energy:  Being Love.  For when you combine these practices, you find yourself naturally being a conduit of a loving energy that allows for no unhelpful thoughts to take hold and disturb your unshakeable calm. 
Picture
 
​Loving Loyalty to Self:  We always have to start with self, and Being Love is no exception.  Through learning one common obstacle to loving yourself and how to overcome it, you do not become stuck in an endless cycle of self-doubt and pain.  

Picture
Acting from Love with Others:  Many of us, during these times, have found it difficult to act from a place of love with others.  You will hear the remarkable story of a woman who practiced this in horrendous conditions.  
Picture
​​
​Being Love:  
​Finally, you will learn how Being Love frees you.  You will be able to find purpose and/or good in all actions and handle them with a deep understanding rather than confusion and pain.  You will come to an understanding of the difference between being loving and Being Love and how it can shine in every thought, word, and action in your life.  For in so doing, you have an everlasting source for your unshakeable inner stillness when all else is chaos

What Can Be Your Outcome?

Picture
When you have completed the three modules, you will have insight on why the practices of ending attachments, recognizing and working with interdependence, being self-aware, knowing what you believe, practicing patience and presence, and Being Love all combine to form a solid foundation for an unshakeable calm in your everyday life, so you can walk with strength.  What does this mean? 

You can live more freely and joyfully accomplishing more in your work and play because no energy is wasted on worry, fear or doubt.
​
For when you are confronted with chaotic situations and unhelpful emotions/thoughts related to worry, fear and confusion, you can quickly acknowledge and transform them into energy that fuels real solutions.  Even better, you can cut through this confusion and recognize the meaning and purpose of what is happening and understand your best role in the situation.  

​These concepts have consistently provided a successful way of life for anyone who wants to walk from a place of love with a strong, unshakeable sense of inner calm, no matter who you are, where you live, or what status society may have given you.

Who Created This Course?

Picture
 Since 2003, Susan Gale has worked exclusively with people who wanted to understand their intuition, which she defines as being able to read and interpret the energy of all things.  Along about 2009, she began to realize that as some students learned more about their relationship with this energy, they were no longer plagued with social anxiety nor did they have a mind full of worries.  Others reported feeling a connection with something larger than their consciousness, feeling in a state of flow, unburdened and unbound while going about their everyday lives. 

This work has not gone unnoticed!  Writers such as John Holland, Spirit Whisperer, and Maureen Hancock,  The Medium Next Door,  have cited her work in their books; and, and in 2006, the center was featured on an A & E special:  Psychic Kids:  Their Sixth Sense.  

Susan herself practices everything she teaches, and the inner peace is reflected in her countenance.  Her steadiness gives people a sense of comfort and safety and one of the most common comments made is “I always feel better after working with you.”   

The material here is not original to Susan, but rather teachings deeply rooted in ancient traditions that she has gleaned from the Cayce Readings, the practices of Zen, and the way of life of the indigenous people.  In Stand With Strength, she has interwoven them for you along with her own life experience to bring a unique package that leads to a deep understanding of a balanced approach to life.  

Nor does Susan work alone!  She is part of a team (Darren,  Patricia and Sherry) that takes care of A Place of Light.  The team works together through their intuitive knowings and makes decisions through consensus.  There is no hierarchy, and this project is a result of many hands helping to put it together.  

 We also want to thank David Kennedy and Haley Steinhardt for their wonderful visual and editing/marketing contributions.  David created the gorgeous videos and
Haley made certain the guidebooks were without errors.  Without their expertise, the quality of this product would have been far less than what it is.  

YOUR COACHES
Picture
Academically, I am a science guy, but connecting with that inner voice, knowing things on a deeper level has always fascinated me.  Now that I make that part of my daily life, I am eager to assist others in doing the same.   My best personal result is that it is so much easier for me to step out of thoughts that run me in circles.  I am really excited to walk with you as you make your own discoveries.  ​

Picture
I have personal experience with how the knowledge you will be receiving can help you achieve a life of joy and beauty from a point of calm, having seen it happen for myself and others over the years.  I find using these techniques on a daily basis in my work with the elderly also brings them to a point of calm during these troubled times.  I am very excited to meet you where you are and share knowledge and growth with you.  ​

Picture
​All my life I have created spaces where people can learn and grow.  In the work I do now at A Place of Light, I hold a space where people can discover who they are by listening to their inner voice and learn to hold onto to that voice no matter what life serves them. Having walked that way of life for a number of decades myself through struggles and heartbreak as well as walking beside others doing the same, I know how to create an environment where you can find your own way to the same calm. ​

 
So, now it is up to you.  
  • Do you want to spend thousands of hours and dollars getting therapy for a diagnosis that does not make sense or do you want to forge your personal anchor that will calm you in less than a minute every time?  
  • Do you want to spend a lot of time and money going to conferences and taking "enlightenment" courses that try to fit you into a system, or receive coaching to create your personal system that works for you?   ​
  • Do you want to get lost in the hundreds of others who are learning a methodology or one of eight who receives personalized coaching that is specific to your situation?   
 
Picture

​
​We feel so strongly that you will benefit from this course that we promise 
that, if you complete the first training, Cleaning the Mirror, and feel this is not for you, we will refund 80% of your fee.  

You decide.
  • Adrift or Anchored?
  • Alone or Advised?
  • Action or Absence of Movement?  
We are here for you and will not leave you adrift.  ​
